This evidence map summarises and prioritises evidence gaps identified by the Communication of Knowledge Strength in Sea Lice Dispersal Modelling Technical Working Group along with our stakeholders in relation to the development of models of sea lice dispersion to support aquaculture in Faroes, Norway, and Scotland.

This map is part of a wider programme programme of work being undertaken by the Technical Working Group encompassing a framework for describing uncertainty in modelling focusing on multiple factors including: diadromous fish distribution, abundance and behaviour (migration and growth); sea lice distribution, abundance and behaviour; physical processes, and communicating modelling uncertainty.

This evidence map may be used across Marine Directorate, SEPA, IMR and Fiskaeling and by other stakeholders to identify research priorities, develop project proposals, and pursue funding.
